UnderChaps

ABSTRACT

The combined feature of a long vertical Zipper inserted into the back of a pair of traditional jeans and complimenting undergarments with a vertical open overlapping flap is simplifying the use of a bathroom (from a woman&#39;s prospective) while dressed in full leather gear during motorcycle rides. 
     It can be a long and difficult task to undo and redo all layered clothing underneath the leather Chaps during rest stops—Jeans and Chaps now stay in place. I invented this amazing feature for traditional pants in order to simplify certain tasks related to bathroom breaks during motorcycle rides while wearing protective Chaps. This invention will benefit everybody who owns a motorcycle or other similar recreational vehicle and/or a pair of leather Chaps.

BACKGROUND

I am a long time passenger on my husband's Honda Goldwing Motorcycle. Weusually dress in full leather gear for our protection, especially onlong trips.

The drawback for me as a woman is the challenge to use the restroom atour rest stops. With the layered clothing during the colder ridingseason it takes a long time and a lot of effort to unbuckle and drop myleather Chaps, unzip and drop my jeans and get to the remaining articlesof clothing underneath. The same goes in reverse for getting dressed,tucked in, then zipped up and buckled up.

I envisioned an easier way to get through these rest stop tasks byimagining a vertical Zipper along the entire back seam of my jeans. Thisidea would be complimented by specialty briefs with a vertical flapopening in the back matching the zippered opening of the jeans. This wayI could just unzip, unfold, use the facilities and be back on the roadafter a quick zip up.
